Pro-Ex, protein plus exercise group. All values are expressed as mean and sd or proportions (%). Adherence was calculated as the percentage of participants meeting ≥ 80 % of recommendations for each protein source as indicated. Number of participants with protein data: Pro-Ex – baseline and week 2 (n 14) and weeks 6, 9 and 12 (n 12); Controls – baseline (n 14) and weeks 2, 6, 9 and 12 (n 13). Mean represents average from weeks 2 to 12.
